FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods for the treatment of various disorders, particularly disorders of cell proliferation, including cancers, and inflammatory disorders. In particular, the invention provides compounds which inhibit the activity of E1 type activating enzymes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The post-translational modification of proteins by ubiquitin-like molecules (ubls) is an important regulatory process within cells, playing key roles in controlling many biological processes including cell division, cell signaling and the immune response. Ubls are small proteins that are covalently attached to a lysine on a target protein via an isopeptide linkage with a C-terminal glycine of the ubl. The ubiquitin-like molecule alters the molecular surface of the target protein and can affect such properties as protein-protein interactions, enzymatic activity, stability and cellular localization of the target.

Ubiquitin and other ubls are activated by a specific E1 enzyme which catalyzes the formation of an acyl-adenylate intermediate with the C-terminal glycine of the ubl. The activated ubl molecule is then transferred to the catalytic cysteine residue within the E1 enzyme through formation of a thioester bond intermediate. The E1-ubl intermediate and an E2 associate, resulting in a thioester exchange wherein the ubl is transferred to the active site cysteine of the E2. The ubl is then conjugated to the target protein, either directly or in conjunction with an E3 ligase, through isopeptide bond formation with the amino group of a lysine side chain in the target protein.

The biological consequence of ubl modification depends on the target in question. Ubiquitin is the best characterized of the ubls and a consequence of modification by ubiquitination is the degradation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins by the 26S proteasome. Ubiquitin is conjugated to its target proteins through an enzymatic cascade involving its specific E1 activating enzyme, Uba1 (ubiquitin activating enzyme, UAE), a conjugating enzyme from the family of E2s, and a ubiquitin ligase from either the RING or HECT classes of E3s. See, Huang et al., Oncogene, 23:1958-71 (2004). Target specificity is controlled by the particular combination of E2 and E3 protein, with >40 E2s and >100 E3s being known at present. In addition to ubiquitin, there are at least 10 ubiquitin-like proteins, each believed to be activated by a specific E1 activating enzyme and processed through similar but distinct downstream conjugation pathways. Other ubls for which E1 activating enzymes have been identified include Nedd8 (APPBP1-Uba3), ISG15 (UBE1L) and the SUMO family (Aos1-Uba2).

The ubl Nedd8 is activated by the heterodimer Nedd8-activating enzyme (APPBP1-Uba3) (NAE) and is transferred to a single E2 (Ubc12), ultimately resulting in ligation to cullin proteins. The function of neddylation is the activation of cullin-based ubiquitin ligases involved in the ubiquitination and hence turnover of many cell cycle and cell signaling proteins, including p27 and I-κB. See Pan et al., Oncogene. 23:1985-97 (2004). The ubl SUMO is activated by the heterodimer sumo activating enzyme (Aos1-Uba2) (SAE) and is transferred to a single E2 (Ubc9), followed by coordination with multiple E3 ligases, ultimately resulting in sumoylation of target proteins. Sumo modification can affect the cellular localization of target proteins and proteins modified by SUMO family members are involved in nuclear transport, signal transduction and the stress response. See Seeler and Dejean, Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 4:690-9, (2003). The function of sumoylation includes activation of cell signaling pathways (e.g., cytokine, WNT, growth factor, and steroid hormone signaling) involved in transcription regulation; as well as pathways involved in control of genomic integrity (e.g., DNA replication, response to DNA damage, recombination and repair). See Muller et al, Oncogene. 23:1998-2006, (2004). There are other ubls (e.g., ISG15, FAT10, Apg12p) for which the biological functions are still under investigation.

A particular pathway of importance which is regulated via E1 activating enzyme activities is the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP). As discussed above, the enzymes UAE and NAE regulate the UPP at two different steps in the ubiquitination cascade. UAE activates ubiquitin in the first step of the cascade, while NAE, via activation of Nedd8, is responsible for the activation of the cullin based ligases, which in turn are required for the final transfer of ubiquitin to certain target proteins A functional UPP pathway is required for normal cell maintenance. The UPP plays a central role in the turnover of many key regulatory proteins involved in transcription, cell cycle progression and apoptosis, all of which are important in disease states, including tumor cells. See, e.g., King et al., Science 274: 1652-1659 (1996); Vorhees et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 9: 6316-6325 (2003); and Adams et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer, 4: 349-360 (2004). Proliferating cells are particularly sensitive to inhibition of the UPP. See, Drexler, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA 94: 855-860 (1977). The role of the UPP pathway in oncogenesis has led to the investigation of proteasome inhibition as a potential anticancer therapy. For example, modulation of the UPP pathway by inhibition of the 26S proteasome by VELCADE® (bortezomib) has proven to be an effective treatment in certain cancers and is approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Examples of proteins whose levels are controlled by cullin-based ubiquitin ligases which are downstream of NAE and UAE activity include the CDK inhibitor p27^(Kip1) and the inhibitor of NFκB, IκB. See, Podust et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 97: 4579-4584 (2000), and Read et al., Mol. Cell Biol., 20: 2326-2333 (2000). Inhibition of the degradation of p27 is expected to block the progression of cells through the G1 and S phases of the cell cycle. Interfering with the degradation of IκB should prevent the nuclear localization of NF-κB, transcription of various NF-κB-dependent genes associated with the malignant phenotype, and resistance to standard cytotoxic therapies. Additionally, NF-κB plays a key role in the expression of a number of pro-inflammatory mediators, implicating a role for such inhibitors in inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, inhibition of UPP has been implicated as a useful target for additional therapeutics, such as inflammatory disorders, including, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and reperfusion injury; neurodegenerative disorders, including e.g., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, triplet repeat disorders; neuropathic pain; ischemic disorders, e.g., stroke, infarction, kidney disorders; and cachexia. See, e.g., Elliott and Ross, Am. J. Clin. Pathol., 116:637-46 (2001); Elliott et al., J. Mol. Med., 81:235-45 (2003); Tarlac and Storey, J. Neurosci. Res. 74: 406-416 (2003); Mori et al., Neuropath. Appl. Neurobiol., 31: 53-61 (2005); Manning, Curr. Pain Headache Rep., 8: 192-8 (2004); Dawson and Dawson, Science, 302: 819-822 (2003); Kukan, J. Physiol. Pharmacol., 55: 3-15 (2004); Wojcik and DiNapoli, Stroke, 35:1506-18 (2004); Lazarus et al., Am J Physiol., 27:E332-41 (1999).

Targeting E1 activating enzymes provides a unique opportunity to interfere with a variety of biochemical pathways important for maintaining the integrity of cell division and cell signaling. E1 activating enzymes function at the first step of ubl conjugation pathways; thus, inhibition of an E1 activating enzyme will specifically modulate the downstream biological consequences of the ubl modification. As such, inhibition of these activating enzymes, and the resultant inhibition of downstream effects of ubl-conjugation, represents a method of interfering with the integrity of cell division, cell signaling, and several aspects of cellular physiology which are important for disease mechanisms. Thus, E1 enzymes such as UAE, NAE, and SAE, as regulators of diverse cellular functions, are potentially important therapeutic targets for the identification of novel approaches to treatment of diseases and disorders.

Compounds of the invention include those described generally above, and are further defined and illustrated by the detailed description and examples herein.

As used herein, the term “E1,” “E1 enzyme,” or “E1 activating enzyme” refers to any one of a family of related ATP-dependent activating enzymes involved in activating or promoting ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like (collectively “ubl”) conjugation to target molecules. E1 activating enzymes function through an adenylation/thioester intermediate formation to transfer the appropriate ubl to the respective E2 conjugating enzyme through a transthiolation reaction. The resulting activated ubl-E2 promotes ultimate conjugation of the ubl to a target protein. A variety of cellular proteins that play a role in cell signaling, cell cycle, and protein turnover are substrates for ubl conjugation which is regulated through E1 activating enzymes (e.g., NAE, UAE, SAE). Unless otherwise indicated by context, the term “E1 enzyme” is meant to refer to any E1 activating enzyme protein, including, without limitation, nedd8 activating enzyme (NAE (APPBP1/Uba3)), ubiquitin activating enzyme (UAE (Uba1)), sumo activating enzyme (SAE (Aos1/Uba2)), or ISG15 activating enzyme (Ube1L). Preferably, the term “E1 enzyme” refers to human NAE, SAE or UAE, and more preferably refers to NAE.

The term “E1 enzyme inhibitor” or “inhibitor of E1 enzyme” is used to signify a compound having a structure as defined herein, which is capable of interacting with an E1 enzyme and inhibiting its enzymatic activity. Inhibiting E1 enzymatic activity means reducing the ability of an E1 enzyme to activate ubiquitin like (ubl) conjugation to a substrate peptide or protein (e.g., ubiquitination, neddylation, sumoylation). In various embodiments, such reduction of E1 enzyme activity is at least about 50%, at least about 75%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or at least about 99%. In various embodiments, the concentration of E1 enzyme inhibitor required to reduce an E1 enzymatic activity is less than about 1 μM, less than about 500 nM, less than about 100 nM, less than about 50 nM, or less than about 10 nM.

In some embodiments, such inhibition is selective, i.e., the E1 enzyme inhibitor reduces the ability of one or more E1 enzymes (e.g., NAE, UAE, or SAE) to promote ubl conjugation to substrate peptide or protein at a concentration that is lower, preferably at least 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 50-fold, or 100-fold lower, than the concentration of the inhibitor that is required to produce another, unrelated biological effect. In some such embodiments, the E1 enzyme inhibitor reduces the activity of one E1 enzyme at a concentration that is lower than the concentration of the inhibitor that is required to reduce enzymatic activity of a different E1 enzyme. In other embodiments, the E1 enzyme inhibitor also reduces the enzymatic activity of another E1 enzyme, preferably one that is implicated in regulation of pathways involved in cancer (e.g., NAE and UAE).

The term “about” is used herein to mean approximately, in the region of, roughly, or around. When the term “about” is used in conjunction with a numerical range, it modifies that range by extending the boundaries above and below the numerical values set forth. In general, the term “about” is used herein to modify a numerical value above and below the stated value by a variance of 10%.

The term “aliphatic”, as used herein, means straight-chain, branched or cyclic C₁-C₁₂ hydrocarbons which are completely saturated or which contain one or more units of unsaturation, but which are not aromatic. For example, suitable aliphatic groups include substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl groups and hybrids thereof, such as cycloalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, (cycloalkenyl)alkyl or (cycloalkyl)-alkenyl. In various embodiments, the aliphatic group has one to ten, one to eight, one to six, one to four, or one, two, or three carbons.

The terms “alkyl”, “alkenyl”, and “alkynyl”, used alone or as part of a larger moiety, refer to a straight and branched chain aliphatic group having from one to twelve carbon atoms. For purposes of the present invention, the term “alkyl” will be used when the carbon atom attaching the aliphatic group to the rest of the molecule is a saturated carbon atom. However, an alkyl group may include unsaturation at other carbon atoms. Thus, alkyl groups include, without limitation, methyl, ethyl, propyl, allyl, propargyl, butyl, pentyl, and hexyl. The term “alkoxy” refers to an —O-alkyl radical.

For purposes of the present invention, the term “alkenyl” will be used when the carbon atom attaching the aliphatic group to the rest of the molecule forms part of a carbon-carbon double bond. Alkenyl groups include, without limitation, vinyl, 1-propenyl, 1-butenyl, 1-pentenyl, and 1-hexenyl.

For purposes of the present invention, the term “alkynyl” will be used when the carbon atom attaching the aliphatic group to the rest of the molecule forms part of a carbon-carbon triple bond. Alkynyl groups include, without limitation, ethynyl, 1-propynyl, 1-butynyl, 1-pentynyl, and 1-hexynyl.

The term “cycloaliphatic”, used alone or as part of a larger moiety, refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated cyclic aliphatic ring system having from 3 to about 14 members, wherein the aliphatic ring system is optionally substituted. In some embodiments, the cycloaliphatic is a monocyclic hydrocarbon having 3-8 or 3-6 ring carbon atoms. Nonlimiting examples include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, cyclohexenyl, cycloheptyl, cycloheptenyl, cyclooctyl, cyclooctenyl, and cyclooctadienyl. In some embodiments, the cycloaliphatic is a bridged or fused bicyclic hydrocarbon having 6-12, 6-10, or 6-8 ring carbon atoms, wherein any individual ring in the bicyclic ring system has 3-8 members.

In some embodiments, two adjacent substituents on a cycloaliphatic ring, taken together with the intervening ring atoms, form an optionally substituted fused 5- to 6-membered aromatic or 3- to 8-membered non-aromatic ring having 0-3 ring heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S. Thus, the term “cycloaliphatic” includes aliphatic rings that are fused to one or more aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl rings, where the radical or point of attachment is on the aliphatic ring. Nonlimiting examples include indanyl, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoxalinyl, decahydronaphthyl, or tetrahydronaphthyl, where the radical or point of attachment is on the aliphatic ring.

The terms “haloaliphatic”, “haloalkyl”, “haloalkenyl” and “haloalkoxy” refer to an aliphatic, alkyl, alkenyl or alkoxy group, as the case may be, which is substituted with one or more halogen atoms. As used herein, the term “halogen” or “halo” means F, Cl, Br, or I. The term “fluoroaliphatic” refers to a haloaliphatic wherein the halogen is fluoro. Nonlimiting examples of fluoroaliphatics include —CH₂F, —CHF₂, —CF₃, —CH₂CF₃, —CF₂CH₃, and —CF₂CF₃.

The terms “aryl” and “ar-”, used alone or as part of a larger moiety, e.g., “aralkyl”, “aralkoxy”, or “aryloxyalkyl”, refer to a C₆ to C₁₄ aromatic hydrocarbon, comprising one to three rings, each of which is optionally substituted. Preferably, the aryl group is a C₆₋₁₀ aryl group. Aryl groups include, without limitation, phenyl, naphthyl, and anthracenyl. In some embodiments, two adjacent substituents on an aryl ring, taken together with the intervening ring atoms, form an optionally substituted fused 5- to 6-membered aromatic or 4- to 8-membered non-aromatic ring having 0-3 ring heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S. Thus, the term “aryl”, as used herein, includes groups in which an aromatic ring is fused to one or more heteroaryl, cycloaliphatic, or heterocyclyl rings, where the radical or point of attachment is on the aromatic ring. Nonlimiting examples of such fused ring systems include indolyl, isoindolyl, benzothienyl, benzofuranyl, dibenzofuranyl, indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzthiazolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, cinnolinyl, phthalazinyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, carbazolyl, acridinyl, phenazinyl, phenothiazinyl, phenoxazinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, fluorenyl, indanyl, phenanthridinyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, indolinyl, phenoxazinyl, benzodioxanyl, and benzodioxolyl. An aryl group may be mono-, bi-, tri-, or polycyclic, preferably mono-, bi-, or tricyclic, more preferably mono- or bicyclic. The term “aryl” may be used interchangeably with the terms “aryl group”, “aryl moiety”, and “aryl ring”.

An “aralkyl” or “arylalkyl” group comprises an aryl group covalently attached to an alkyl group, either of which independently is optionally substituted. Preferably, the aralkyl group is C₆₋₁₀ aryl(C₁₋₆)alkyl, including, without limitation, benzyl, phenethyl, and naphthylmethyl.

The terms “heteroaryl” and “heteroar-”, used alone or as part of a larger moiety, e.g., heteroaralkyl, or “heteroaralkoxy”, refer to groups having 5 to 14 ring atoms, preferably 5, 6, 9, or 10 ring atoms; having 6, 10, or 14 t electrons shared in a cyclic array; and having, in addition to carbon atoms, from one to four heteroatoms. The term “heteroatom” refers to nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, and includes any oxidized form of nitrogen or sulfur, and any quaternized form of a basic nitrogen. Thus, when used in reference to a ring atom of a heteroaryl, the term “nitrogen” includes an oxidized nitrogen (as in pyridine N-oxide). Certain nitrogen atoms of 5-membered heteroaryl groups also are substitutable, as further defined below. Heteroaryl groups include, without limitation, thienyl, furanyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyridyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, indolizinyl, purinyl, naphthyridinyl, and pteridinyl.

In some embodiments, two adjacent substituents on a heteroaryl ring, taken together with the intervening ring atoms, form an optionally substituted fused 5- to 6-membered aromatic or 4- to 8-membered non-aromatic ring having 0-3 ring heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S. Thus, the terms “heteroaryl” and “heteroar-”, as used herein, also include groups in which a heteroaromatic ring is fused to one or more aryl, cycloaliphatic, or heterocyclyl rings, where the radical or point of attachment is on the heteroaromatic ring. Nonlimiting examples include indolyl, isoindolyl, benzothienyl, benzofuranyl, dibenzofuranyl, indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzthiazolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, cinnolinyl, phthalazinyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, 4H-quinolizinyl, carbazolyl, acridinyl, phenazinyl, phenothiazinyl, phenoxazinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, and pyrido[2,3-b]-1,4-oxazin-3(4H)-one. A heteroaryl group may be mono-, bi-, tri-, or polycyclic, preferably mono-, bi-, or tricyclic, more preferably mono- or bicyclic. The term “heteroaryl” may be used interchangeably with the terms “heteroaryl ring”, or “heteroaryl group”, any of which terms include rings that are optionally substituted. The term “heteroaralkyl” refers to an alkyl group substituted by a heteroaryl, wherein the alkyl and heteroaryl portions independently are optionally substituted.

As used herein, the terms “aromatic ring” and “aromatic ring system” refer to an optionally substituted mono-, bi-, or tricyclic group having 0-6, preferably 0-4 ring heteroatoms, and having 6, 10, or 14 π electrons shared in a cyclic array. Thus, the terms “aromatic ring” and “aromatic ring system” encompass both aryl and heteroaryl groups.

As used herein, the terms “heterocycle”, “heterocyclyl”, “heterocyclic radical”, and “heterocyclic ring” are used interchangeably and refer to a stable 3- to 7-membered monocyclic, or to a fused 7- to 10-membered or bridged 6- to 10-membered bicyclic heterocyclic moiety that is either saturated or partially unsaturated, and having, in addition to carbon atoms, one or more, preferably one to four, heteroatoms, as defined above. When used in reference to a ring atom of a heterocycle, the term “nitrogen” includes a substituted nitrogen. As an example, in a heterocyclyl ring having 1-3 heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen, the nitrogen may be N (as in 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolyl), NH (as in pyrrolidinyl), or ⁺NR (as in N-substituted pyrrolidinyl). A heterocyclic ring can be attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom that results in a stable structure, and any of the ring atoms can be optionally substituted. Examples of such saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic radicals include, without limitation, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothienyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolidonyl, piperidinyl, pyrrolinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, decahydroquinolinyl, oxazolidinyl, piperazinyl, dioxanyl, dioxolanyl, diazepinyl, oxazepinyl, thiazepinyl, morpholinyl, and quinuclidinyl.

In some embodiments, two adjacent substituents on a heterocyclic ring, taken together with the intervening ring atoms, form an optionally substituted fused 5- to 6-membered aromatic or 3- to 8-membered non-aromatic ring having 0-3 ring heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S. Thus, the terms “heterocycle”, “heterocyclyl”, “heterocyclyl ring”, “heterocyclic group”, “heterocyclic moiety”, and “heterocyclic radical”, are used interchangeably herein, and include groups in which a heterocyclyl ring is fused to one or more aryl, heteroaryl, or cycloaliphatic rings, such as indolinyl, 3H-indolyl, chromanyl, phenanthridinyl, or tetrahydroquinolinyl, where the radical or point of attachment is on the heterocyclyl ring. A heterocyclyl group may be mono-, bi-, tri-, or polycyclic, preferably mono-, bi-, or tricyclic, more preferably mono- or bicyclic. The term “heterocyclylalkyl” refers to an alkyl group substituted by a heterocyclyl, wherein the alkyl and heterocyclyl portions independently are optionally substituted.

As used herein, the term “partially unsaturated” refers to a ring moiety that includes at least one double or triple bond between ring atoms. The term “partially unsaturated” is intended to encompass rings having multiple sites of unsaturation, but is not intended to include aryl or heteroaryl moieties, as herein defined.

The term “linker group” or “linker” means an organic moiety that connects two parts of a compound. Linkers typically comprise an atom such as oxygen or sulfur, a unit such as —NH—, —CH₂—, —C(O)—, —C(O)NH—, or a chain of atoms, such as an alkylene chain. The molecular mass of a linker is typically in the range of about 14 to 200, preferably in the range of 14 to 96 with a length of up to about six atoms. In some embodiments, the linker is a C₁₋₆ alkylene chain which is optionally substituted.

The term “alkylene” refers to a bivalent alkyl group. An “alkylene chain” is a polymethylene group, i.e., —(CH₂)_(n)—, wherein n is a positive integer, preferably from one to six, from one to four, from one to three, from one to two, or from two to three. A substituted alkylene chain is a polymethylene group in which one or more methylene hydrogen atoms is replaced with a substituent. Suitable substituents include those described below for a substituted aliphatic group. An alkylene chain also may be substituted at one or more positions with an aliphatic group or a substituted aliphatic group.

An alkylene chain also can be optionally interrupted by a functional group. An alkylene chain is “interrupted” by a functional group when an internal methylene unit is replaced with the functional group. Examples of suitable “interrupting functional groups” include —C(R*)═C(R*)—, —C≡C—, —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)₂—, —S(O)₂N(R⁺)—, —N(R*)—, —N(R⁺)CO—, —N(R⁺)C(O)N(R⁺)—, —N(R⁺)CO₂—, —C(O)N(R⁺)—, —C(O)—, —C(O)—C(O)—, —CO₂—, —OC(O)—, —OC(O)O—, —OC(O)N(R⁺)—, —C(NR⁺)═N, —C(OR*)═N—, —N(R⁺)—N(R⁺)—, or —N(R⁺)S(O)₂—. Each R⁺, independently, is hydrogen or an optionally substituted aliphatic, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl group, or two R⁺ on the same nitrogen atom, taken together with the nitrogen atom, form a five to eight membered aromatic or non-aromatic ring having, in addition to the nitrogen atom, zero to two ring heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S. Each R* independently is hydrogen or an optionally substituted aliphatic, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl group.

Examples of C₃₋₆ alkylene chains that have been “interrupted” with —O-include —CH₂OCH₂—, —CH₂O(CH₂)₂—, —CH₂O(CH₂)₃—, —CH₂O(CH₂)₄—, —(CH₂)₂OCH₂—, —(CH₂)₂O(CH₂)₂—, —(CH₂)₂O(CH₂)₃—, —(CH₂)₃O(CH₂)—, —(CH₂)₃O(CH₂)₂—, and —(CH₂)₄O(CH₂)—. Other examples of alkylene chains that are “interrupted” with functional groups include —CH₂GCH₂—, —CH₂G(CH₂)₂—, —CH₂G(CH₂)₃—, —CH₂G(CH₂)₄—, —(CH₂)₂GCH₂—, —(CH₂)₂G(CH₂)₂—, —(CH₂)₂G(CH₂)₃—, —(CH₂)₃G(CH₂)—, —(CH₂)₃G(CH₂)₂—, and —(CH₂)₄G(CH₂)—, wherein G is one of the “interrupting” functional groups listed above.

For purposes of clarity, all bivalent groups described herein, including, e.g., the alkylene chain linkers described above and the variables D, E, F, G, Q, U, W, Y, V¹, T¹, T², T³, and T⁴ are intended to be read from left to right, with a corresponding left-to-right reading of the formula or structure in which the variable appears. When the bivalent group is contained within a ring, a left-to-right reading of the variable corresponds to a clockwise reading of the ring structure in which the variable appears.

One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that when an alkylene chain having an interruption is attached to a functional group, certain combinations are not sufficiently stable for pharmaceutical use. Only stable or chemically feasible compounds are within the scope of the present invention. A stable or chemically feasible compound is one in which the chemical structure is not substantially altered when kept at a temperature from about −80° C. to about +40° C., preferably from about −20° C. to about +40° C., in the absence of moisture or other chemically reactive conditions, for at least a week, or a compound which maintains its integrity long enough to be useful for therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a patient.

The term “substituted”, as used herein, means that a hydrogen radical of the designated moiety is replaced with the radical of a specified substituent, provided that the substitution results in a stable or chemically feasible compound. The term “substitutable”, when used in reference to a designated atom, means that attached to the atom is a hydrogen radical, which can be replaced with the radical of a suitable substituent.

The phrase “one or more substituents”, as used herein, refers to a number of substituents that equals from one to the maximum number of substituents possible based on the number of available bonding sites, provided that the above conditions of stability and chemical feasibility are met. Unless otherwise indicated, an optionally substituted group may have a substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and the substituents may be either the same or different. As used herein, the term “independently selected” means that the same or different values may be selected for multiple instances of a given variable in a single compound.

An aryl (including the aryl moiety in aralkyl, aralkoxy, aryloxyalkyl and the like) or heteroaryl (including the heteroaryl moiety in heteroaralkyl and heteroaralkoxy and the like) group may contain one or more substituents. Examples of suitable substituents on the unsaturated carbon atom of an aryl or heteroaryl group include -halo, —NO₂, —CN, —R*, —C(R*)═C(R*)₂, —C≡C—R*, —OR*, —SR^(o), —S(O)R^(o), —SO₂R^(o), —SO₂N(R⁺)₂, —N(R⁺)₂, —NR⁺C(O)R*, —NR⁺C(O)N(R⁺)₂, —NR⁺CO₂R^(o), —O—CO₂R^(o), —OC(O)N(R⁺)₂, —O—C(O)R*, —CO₂R*, —C(O)—C(O)R*, —C(O)R*, —C(O)N(R⁺)₂, —C(O)N(R⁺)OR*, —C(O)N(R⁺)C(═NR⁺)—N(R⁺)₂, —C(═NR⁺)—N(R⁺)₂, —C(═NR⁺)—N(R⁺)—OR*, —C(═NR⁺)—OR*, —C(R^(o))═N—OR*, —N(R⁺)—N(R⁺)₂, —N(R⁺)OR*, —N(R⁺) C(═NR⁺)—N(R⁺)₂, —N(R⁺)C(═NR⁺)—N(R⁺)—C(O)R*, —N(R⁺)C(═NR⁺)—R^(o), —NR⁺SO₂R^(o), —NR⁺SO₂N(R⁺)₂, —P(O)(R*)₂, —P(O)(OR*)₂, —O—P(O)—OR*, and —P(O)(NR⁺)—N(R⁺)₂, wherein R^(o) is an optionally substituted aliphatic or aryl group, and R⁺ and R* are as defined above, or two adjacent substituents, taken together with their intervening atoms, form a 5- to 6-membered unsaturated or partially unsaturated ring having 0-3 ring atoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S.

An aliphatic group or a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring may be substituted with one or more substituents. Examples of suitable substituents on the saturated carbon of an aliphatic group or of a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring include, without limitation, those listed above for the unsaturated carbon of an aryl or heteroaryl group and the following: ═O, ═S, ═C(R*)₂, ═N—N(R⁺)₂, ═N—OR*, ═N—NHC(O)R*, ═N—NHCO₂R^(o), ═N—NHSO₂R^(o), or ═N—R*, where ═ represents a double bond, and each R* and R^(o) is as defined above. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that substituents that are attached by way of a double bond requires replacement of two hydrogen radicals on the substitutable carbon atom. For the purposes of clarity, the term “substituted aliphatic” refers to an aliphatic group having at least one non-aliphatic substituent.

Suitable substituents on a substitutable nitrogen atom of a heteroaryl or heterocyclic ring include —R*, —N(R*)₂, —C(O)R*, —CO₂R^(o), —C(O)—C(O)R*, —C(O)CH₂C(O)R*, —SO₂R^(o), —SO₂N(R*)₂, —C(═S)N(R*)₂, —C(═NH)—N(R*)₂, and —NR*SO₂R^(o); wherein each R* and R^(o) is as defined above.

Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are meant to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structure except for the replacement of a hydrogen atom by a deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon atom by a ¹³C- or ¹⁴C-enriched carbon are within the scope of the invention.

It also will be apparent to one skilled in the art that certain compounds of this invention may exist in tautomeric forms, all such tautomeric forms of the compounds being within the scope of the invention. Unless stereochemical configuration is expressly defined, structures depicted herein are meant to include all stereochemical forms of the structure; i.e., the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. By way of example, the compounds of formula (I) wherein R^(a) is hydroxy can have R or S configuration at the carbon atom bearing R^(a). Both the R and the S stereochemical isomers, as well as all mixtures thereof, are included within the scope of the invention.

Where stereochemical configuration at a given asymmetric center is defined by structure, unless stated otherwise, the depicted configuration indicates stereochemistry relative to other asymmetric centers in the molecule. Where stereochemical configuration is defined by chemical name, the designations (rel), (R*), and (S*) indicate relative stereochemistry, while the designations (+), (−), (R), (S), and (abs) indicate absolute stereochemistry.

In the compounds of formula (I), where relative stereochemistry is defined, the diastereomeric purity of the compound preferably is at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, still more preferably at least 95%, and most preferably at least 99%. As used herein, the term “diastereomeric purity” refers to the amount of a compound having the depicted relative stereochemistry, expressed as a percentage of the total amount of all diastereomers present.

In some embodiments, stereochemical configurations depicted at asterisked positions indicate absolute as well as relative stereochemistry. Preferably, the enantiomeric purity of the compound is at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, still more preferably at least 95%, and most preferably at least 99%. As used herein, the term “enantiomeric purity” refers to the amount of a compound having the depicted absolute stereochemistry, expressed as a percentage of the total amount of the depicted compound and its enantiomer.

Methods for determining diastereomeric and enantiomeric purity are well-known in the art. Diastereomeric purity can be determined by any analytical method capable of quantitatively distinguishing between a compound and its diastereomers. Examples of suitable analytical methods include, without limitation, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), gas chromatography (GC), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Similarly, enantiomeric purity can be determined by any analytical method capable of quantitatively distinguishing between a compound and its enantiomer. Examples of suitable analytical methods include, without limitation, GC or HPLC, using a chiral column packing material. Enantiomers may also be distinguishable by NMR if first derivatized with an optically enriched derivatizing agent, e.g., Mosher's acid.

The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art and/or by reference to the schemes shown below and the synthetic examples that follow. Exemplary synthetic routes are set forth in Schemes 1-21 below, and in the Examples.

Scheme 1 above shows a general route for preparing compounds of formula (I-B), wherein W is —NH— and R^(c) is —OH. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that compounds of formula (I-B) wherein Ring A is other than pyrimidine can be prepared by the same general route, beginning with appropriate starting materials analogous to ii.

As shown in Scheme 1, conversion of i to the compounds of formula iii is accomplished by coupling with the appropriately substituted pyrimidines at elevated temperature in protic solvents, such as EtOH or BuOH, using an appropriate base, such as DIPEA or Et₃N in the presence of microwave irradiation (Method A). Selective protection of the vicinal diol of iii is effected at this stage by treatment with 2,2-dimethoxypropane in the presence of an organic acid, such as p-TsOH in a solvent, such as MeOH or acetone (Method B). Displacement of the aryl chloride of formula iv is achieved by coupling with the appropriately substituted nucleophile, such as an amine, alcohol or thiol at elevated temperature using microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent (Method C). Further treatment with freshly prepared chlorosulfonamide vi affords the sulfamates vii (Method D). Cleavage of the acetal by treatment with a strong acid, such as TFA, in the presence of water according to Method E yields compounds of formula viii.

Compounds of formula (I-A) can be prepared by the methods described in Scheme 2. Methods for the synthesis of the intermediate alkene diol ix are known (Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids, 2002, 21, 65-72). Upon treatment with m-CPBA, diol ix is converted to epoxy diol x. Subsequent protection of the diol using p-anisaldehyde dimethyl acetal in the presence of pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate provides epoxide xi. Opening of the epoxide using a mixture of phthalimide and phthalimide potassium salt in DMSO at elevated temperature affords alcohol xii. This alcohol is then alkylated by treatment with chlorophenylthionocarbonate and DMAP in DCM to afford thiocarbonate xiii (Method F). Deoxygenation at this stage is achieved by treatment with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane and air in toluene followed by BEt₃ in toluene to give xiv (Method G). Subsequent deprotection with hydrazine in EtOH at elevated temperature gives amine xv (Method H).

Conversion of amine xv to compounds of formula xvi is accomplished by coupling with the appropriately substituted pyrimidines at elevated temperature in protic solvents, such as EtOH or BuOH, using an appropriate base, such as Et₃N in a sealed tube (Method I). Again, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that compounds of formula xxi and xxii wherein Ring A is other than pyrimidine can be prepared by the same general route, using a starting material analogous to ii.

The treatment of compounds having the general formula xvi with an amine, such as benzylamine, in the absence of solvent at elevated temperatures using microwave irradiation results in deprotection of the diol, and then repeating the process in the presence of a base, such as DIPEA or Et₃N at elevated temperatures in a protic solvent, such as EtOH or BuOH using microwave irradiation affords substituted pyrimidines xviii (Methods J and K).

Methods for the synthesis of tert-butyl chlorosulfonylcarbamate xix are known (Hirayama et al., Biorg. Med. Chem., 2002, 10, 1509-1523), and this reagent is reacted selectively with the primary alcohol using a hindered base, such as 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine, in a solvent, such as ACN, to afford Boc sulfamates of formula xx (Method L). Removal of the siloxy group with a protic acid such as TFA (Method M) yields the compounds of formula xxi.

Alternatively, compound xii can be directly exposed to the conditions described in Methods H-M, to afford dihydroxycyclopentyl methyl sulfamates of formula xxii.

Compounds of formula (I-B), wherein W is —NHC(O)— can be prepared by the methods shown above in Scheme 3. Methods for the synthesis of bicyclic lactam xxiii are known (Daluge et al., Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids, 2000, 19, 297-327). Dihydroxylation using osmium tetroxide in the presence of an organic N-oxide, such as N-methylmorpholine oxide, in a solvent, such as acetone, gives diol xxiv. Global protection of both alcohols using benzyl chloride and a base, such as Et₃N, and a catalyst, such as DMAP, in a solvent, such as DCM, gives compound xxv. The resulting bicyclic lactam is reduced using NaBH₄ to afford Boc-protected amine xxvi, which is then deprotected upon treatment with HCl in the absence of water. The resulting secondary amine hydrochloride xxvii is treated with an acyl chloride of formula xxviii in the presence of a base, such as Et₃N or DIPEA, in an aprotic solvent, such as DCM to afford amides of formula xxix according to Method N. The primary alcohol of xxx is then sulfamoylated by treatment with chlorosulfonamide vi and a base, such as DBU, in a polar aprotic solvent, such as ACN (Method O). Global deprotection of both secondary alcohols using ammonia in a polar solvent, such as MeOH, yields final sulfamates of formula xxxi (Method P).

Compounds of formula (I-B), wherein W is —NH— and R^(c) and R^(d) are hydrogen can be prepared by the methods shown above in Scheme 4. Amino diol xxxii (Ober, M.; Muller, H.; Pieck, C.; Gierlich, J.; Carell, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 18143-18149) is treated with dichloropyrimidines of formula ii according to Method I to give chloropyrimidines of formula xxxiii. Further reaction with an appropriately substituted nucleophile according to Method C or Method K gives compounds of formula xxxiv. These diols are subsequently selectively sulfamoylated and deprotected according to Methods L-M as outlined in Scheme 2.

Compounds of formula (I-B), wherein Ring A is a triazine ring, can be prepared as shown in Scheme 5. Coupling of cyanuric chloride xxxv with a primary or secondary amine in a solvent such as THF using a base such as DIPEA at reduced temperature affords dichloride xxxvi. Displacement of one chloride with amine hydrochloride xxxvii, followed by selective protection of the vicinal hydroxyl groups using 2,2-dimethoxypropane in the presence of pyridinium p-toluene sulfonate affords alcohol xxxix. Removal of the remaining aryl chloride using hydrogen in the presence of palladium on carbon (Method Q), followed by sulfamoylation using chlorosulfonamide vi gives sulfamate xli.

Compounds of formula (I-A), wherein W is —O— can be prepared as depicted above in Scheme 6. Methods for the synthesis of diol xlii are known (MacKeith et al., Biorg. Med. Chem., 1994, 2, 387-394), and this reagent is bis-protected using TBS-Cl and Et₃N in the presence of DMAP at elevated temperatures. Subsequent hydroboration-oxidation using catecholborane and Wilkinson's catalyst followed by NaOH, hydrogen peroxide and finally sodium sulfite yields cyclopentanol xliv. This secondary alcohol is deprotonated with the use of sodium hydride, and then reacted with dichloropyrimidines of formula ii at reduced temperature to afford coupled chloropyrimidines of formula xlv. Displacement of the aryl chloride is achieved by coupling with the appropriately substituted nucleophile, such as an amine, alcohol or thiol at elevated temperature using microwave irradiation in a solvent, such as BuOH (Method R). Global deprotection of the silyl ethers using a fluoride reagent, such as TBAF according to Method S gives diols of formula xlvii. Compounds of formula xlvii are then selectively sulfamoylated and deprotected according to Methods L-M as outlined in Scheme 2.

Compounds of formula (I-B), wherein W is —NH— and Y=—O— can be prepared as shown above in Scheme 7. Methods for the synthesis of methyl carbamate xlviii are known (Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2004, 126, 6234-6235). Deprotection using an acid, such as HCl in the absence of water affords amino alcohol il. Compound il is then substituted with the appropriate substituents according to Methods A, then C-E and carried on to compounds of formula (I-B) according to Scheme 1.

A general route for the synthesis of compounds of formula (I-B), wherein W is —NH—, Y=—O— and R^(c) is —H is outlined above in Scheme 8. Compounds of formula 1 are known (Kita, et al., J. Org. Chem., 1988, 53, 554-561). Displacement of the aryl chloride using an appropriately substituted nucleophile according to Method C gives pyrimidines of formula li. Compound li is then selectively sulfamoylated and deprotected to give the final compounds according to Scheme 2 (Methods L-M).

The synthesis of compounds of formula (I-A), wherein W is —S— and R^(c) is —OH is described in Scheme 9. The coupling of compounds of formula liv with a nucleophile, such as an amine takes place in a solvent, such as DMF to afford substituted compounds of formula lv (Method T). Subsequent opening of epoxide xi using a base, such as potassium carbonate in a solvent, such as DMF affords alcohol lvi (Method U). Compound lvi is then optionally deoxygenated (Methods F-G) and substituted with the appropriate substituents according to Methods J, then L-M and carried on to compounds of formula (I-A) according to Scheme 2.

Compounds of formula (I-A), wherein W is —CH₂— can be prepared as shown above in Scheme 10. Methyl pyrimidines of formula lvii are coupled with a nucleophile, such as an amine according to Method I to give 2-chloropyrimidines of formula lviii. Hydro-dechlorination according to Method Q gives methylpyrimidines of formula lviii. Deprotonation of the methyl group of lviii is effected by treatment with a strong base, such as phenyllithium, and this carbanion is used to open epoxide xi (Method V). Resulting compounds of formula lix are then optionally deoxygenated (Methods F-G), deprotected and selectively sulfamoylated (Methods J, then L-M) carried on to compounds of formula (I-A) according to Scheme 2.

Compounds of formula (I), wherein W is —CH₂— and Y=—O— can be prepared above in Scheme 11. Compound lx is known (Renz, et al., Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, 1986, 6, 957-966). Coupling with an appropriately substituted nucleophile, such as an amine according to Method K gives the substituted, fully deprotected triol lxi. Compounds of formula lxi are then carried on according to Scheme 2 (Methods L-M).

Compounds of formula (I-B) wherein X=—NH— can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 12. Methods for the synthesis of tert-butyl (aminosulfonyl)-carbamate lxii are known (Masui, et al., Tet. Lett., 2004, 45, 1853-1856). Compounds of formula iv are coupled with this carbamate in the presence of an azodicarboxylate, such as diisobutyl azodicarboxylate in the presence of triphenylphosphine in a solvent, such as EtOAc to give Boc-protected compounds of formula lxiii (Method W). These compounds are then substituted with the appropriate substituents and globally deprotected to give compounds of formula (I-B) according to Methods T and E (Schemes 9 and 1).

Compounds of formula (I-B) wherein X=CH₂ can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 13. Compounds of formula v are oxidized using an oxidizing agent, such as Dess-Martin periodinane in a solvent, such as DCM (Method X). Methods for the synthesis of lxv are known (Carretero, et al., Tetrahedron., 1987, 43, 5125-5134), and this compound is deprotonated using n-BuLi in THF and added to aldehyde lxiv to afford alkenes of formula lxvi. Reduction of the double bond using NaBH₄ in EtOH, followed by heating of the resulting sulfonate ester with Et₃N in DCM using microwave irradiation yields sulfonic acid lxviii. Treatment with thionyl chloride at reduced temperature in DCM in the presence of a catalyst, such as DMF gives sulfonyl chlorides of formula lxix. Finally, treatment with ammonia in a solvent, such as 1,4-dioxane in the presence of DIPEA in DCM at reduced temperatures yields sulfonamides of formula lxx.

Compounds of formula (I-B) wherein X=CF₂ can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 14. Carboxylic acid lxxi is decarboxylated using sodium sulfate in water to give sulfonyl fluoride lxxii, which is then converted to the corresponding sulfonamide using ammonia in 1,4-dioxane. Boc-protection of the nitrogen using Boc anhydride in the presence of DMAP and Et₃N in DCM yields Boc sulfonamide lxxiv. Deprotonation of the CF₂H group using a strong base, such as LiHMDS at reduced temperature in a solvent, such as THF followed by treatment with triflates of formula lxxvi (generated by treatment of alcohol lxxv with trifluoroacetic anhydride and Et₃N in DCM) gives compounds of formula lxxvii (Method Y). These compounds are then substituted with the appropriate substituents and globally deprotected to give compounds of formula (I-B) according to Methods T and E (Schemes 9 and 1).

Compounds of formula (I) wherein X=CHF can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 15. Methanesulfonyl chloride is coupled with bis(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-amine in the presence of Et₃N and DMAP in DCM to give sulfonamide lxxviii. Further treatment with n-BuLi and HMPA in THF at reduced temperature followed by N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide gives fluoromethylsulfonamide lxxix. This compound is then taken on to compounds of formula (I) by the procedures described in Scheme 14.

Compounds of formula (VII-A) wherein W=NH can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 16. The sodium salt of lxxx, which is prepared as in Example 128a-c below, is condensed with a nitro aromatic lxxxi. Subsequently reduction with Zinc in acetic acid provides lxxxii. Oxidative coupling of an appropriate aldehyde such as napthaldehyde in the presence of Na₂S₂O₅ provides compounds of the general formula lxxxiii. Deprotection with acetic acid in water/THF (Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 29, 6331) followed by sulfamation with chlorosulfonamide and concomitant deprotection of the secondary hydroxyl provides compounds of the general formula VII-A.

Compounds of formula (VII-A) wherein W=O and R^(k)=—SO₂R⁶ can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 17. The sodium salt of xliv is condensed with 6-chloro-9-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-9H-purine, which is subsequently iodinated with NIS in THF to provide compound lxxxiv. The sodium salt of an aryl thiolate, such as 3-methylbenzenethiol, is condensed in DMF to provide the intermediate lxxxv which, after deprotection and sulfamation as previously described, provides compound lxxxvi. Exposure to oxidative conditions such as Oxone in aqueous methanol provides compounds of general formula VI.

Compounds of formula (VII) wherein W=O and R^(k)=aryl and heteroaryl can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 18. Pd-mediated coupling of intermediates of the form lxxxiv with boronic acids provides compounds of form lxxxvii. Deprotection followed by sulfamation with a chlorosulfonamide or diphenylcarbamoylsulfamoyl chloride (prepared in a manner similar to U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. (2005), US 2005282797 A1) followed by removal of the secondary siloxy group with a protic acid, such as HCl, provides compounds of the general formula VII.

(S)—N-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl)indolin-4-amine is synthesized as illustrated in Scheme 19. Reduction of 2-(4,6-dichloropyrimidin-5-yl)acetaldehyde with sodium borohydride provides alcohol lxxxviii, which is subsequently condensed with an appropriate aminoindane such as (S)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-amine to provide the substituted pyrimidine lxxxix. Displacement under Mitsunobu type conditions with phthalimide and DIAD, followed by removal of the phthaloyl group with hydrazine, provides the amine intermediate xc. Cyclization under basic conditions provides the final compound (S)—N-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine.

Compounds of formula (VI) wherein W=NH can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 20. Amine lxxx is condensed with chlorosubstituted heterocycles of type xci to provide a product represented as xcii. Deprotection of the primary siloxy group with aqueous acetic acid followed by sulfamation with chlorosulfonamide or diphenylcarbamoylsulfamoyl chloride provides intermediates of form xciii. Removal of the primary hydroxyl group with a Fluoride source, such as TBAF, or protic acid, such as HCl provides the final compound of formula VI.

As shown in Scheme 21, conversion of xciv (Ruediger, E; Martel, A; Meanwell, N; Solomon, C; Turmel, B. Tetrahedron Lett. 2004, 45, 739-742) to the compounds of formula I-A wherein W=NH is accomplished by palladium catalyzed hydrogenation followed by mesylate formation to give xcv. Hydrogenolysis of the primary benzyl group followed by displacement of the mesylate using sodium azide in DMF yields xcvi. Exposure of xcvi to hydrogenation conditions yields the desired amino alcohol xcvii, which can subsequently be used in coupling reactions with a chloro-substituted heterocycle such as ii. Displacement of the aryl chloride of formula xcviii is achieved by coupling with the appropriately substituted nucleophile, such as an amine, alcohol or thiol at elevated temperature using microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent (see Method C). Further treatment with freshly prepared chlorosulfonamide vi followed by cleavage of the TBS-protecting group using a suitable reagent, such as TBAF, HF pyridine, or HCl. affords the sulfamates I-A as represented by xcxix.

Uses of Compounds of the Invention

The compounds of this invention are useful inhibitors of E1 enzyme activity. In particular, the compounds are designed to be inhibitors of NAE, UAE, and/or SAE. Inhibitors are meant to include compounds which reduce the promoting effects of E1 enzymes in ubl conjugation to target proteins (e.g., reduction of ubiquitination, neddylation, sumoylation), reduce intracellular signaling mediated by ubl conjugation, and/or reduce proteolysis mediated by ubl conjugation (e.g., inhibition of cullin-dependent ubiquitination and proteolysis (e.g., the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway)). Thus, the compounds of this invention may be assayed for their ability to inhibit the E1 enzyme in vitro or in vivo, or in cells or animal models according to methods provided in further detail herein, or methods known in the art. The compounds may be assessed for their ability to bind or mediate E1 enzyme activity directly. Alternatively, the activity of compounds may be assessed through indirect cellular assays, or assays measuring downstream effects of E1 activation to assess inhibition of downstream effects of E1 inhibition (e.g., inhibition of cullin-dependent ubiquitination and proteolysis). For example, activity may be assessed by detection of ubl-conjugated substrates (e.g., ubl-conjugated E2s, neddylated cullins, ubiquitinated substrates, sumoylated substrates); detection of downstream protein substrate stabilization (e.g., stabilization of p27, stabilization of IκB); detection of inhibition of UPP activity; detection of downstream effects of protein E1 inhibition and substrate stabilization (e.g., reporter assays, e.g., NFκB reporter assays, p27 reporter assays). Assays for assessing activities are described below in the Experimental section and/or are known in the art.

The toxicity or adverse effects, if any, associated with the carrier preferably are commensurate with a reasonable risk/benefit ratio for the intended use of the active agent.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be manufactured by methods well known in the art such as conventional granulating, mixing, dissolving, encapsulating, lyophilizing, or emulsifying processes, among others. Compositions may be produced in various forms, including granules, precipitates, or particulates, powders, including freeze dried, rotary dried or spray dried powders, amorphous powders, tablets, capsules, syrup, suppositories, injections, emulsions, elixirs, suspensions or solutions. Formulations may optionally contain stabilizers, pH modifiers, surfactants, solubilizing agents, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these.

Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that may be used in these compositions include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins, such as human serum albumin, buffer substances such as phosphates or carbonates, glycine, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts, colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cellulose-based substances, polyethylene glycol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylates, waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, polyethylene glycol and wool fat.

According to a preferred embodiment, the compositions of this invention are formulated for pharmaceutical administration to a mammal, preferably a human being. Such pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally or via an implanted reservoir. The term “parenteral” as used herein includes subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intra-articular, intra-synovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intrahepatic, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. Preferably, the compositions are administered orally, intravenously, or subcutaneously. The formulations of the invention may be designed to be short-acting, fast-releasing, or long-acting. Still further, compounds can be administered in a local rather than systemic means, such as administration (e.g., by injection) at a tumor site.

Pharmaceutical formulations may be prepared as liquid suspensions or solutions using a liquid, such as, but not limited to, an oil, water, an alcohol, and combinations of these. Solubilizing agents such as cyclodextrins may be included. Pharmaceutically suitable surfactants, suspending agents, or emulsifying agents, may be added for oral or parenteral administration. Suspensions may include oils, such as but not limited to, peanut oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil and olive oil. Suspension preparation may also contain esters of fatty acids such as ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, fatty acid glycerides and acetylated fatty acid glycerides. Suspension formulations may include alcohols, such as, but not limited to, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, glycerol and propylene glycol. Ethers, such as but not limited to, poly(ethyleneglycol), petroleum hydrocarbons such as mineral oil and petrolatum; and water may also be used in suspension formulations.

Sterile injectable forms of the compositions of this invention may be aqueous or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such as carboxymethyl cellulose or similar dispersing agents which are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms including emulsions and suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants, such as Tweens, Spans and other emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms may also be used for the purposes of formulation. Compounds may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection such as by bolus injection or continuous infusion. A unit dosage form for injection may be in ampoules or in multi-dose containers.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be orally administered in any orally acceptable dosage form including, but not limited to, capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions or solutions. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening, flavoring or coloring agents may also be added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried cornstarch. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers that are commonly used include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. Coatings may be used for a variety of purposes; e.g., to mask taste, to affect the site of dissolution or absorption, or to prolong drug action. Coatings may be applied to a tablet or to granulated particles for use in a capsule.

Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration. These may be prepared by mixing the agent with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature and therefore will melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter, beeswax and polyethylene glycols.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may also be administered topically, especially when the target of treatment includes areas or organs readily accessible by topical application, including diseases of the eye, the skin, or the lower intestinal tract. Suitable topical formulations are readily prepared for each of these areas or organs.

Topical application for the lower intestinal tract may be effected in a rectal suppository formulation (see above) or in a suitable enema formulation. Topically-transdermal patches may also be used. For topical applications, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active component suspended or dissolved in one or more carriers. Carriers for topical administration of the compounds of this invention include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compound, emulsifying wax and water. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in a suitable lotion or cream containing the active components suspended or dissolved in one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol and water.

For ophthalmic use, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated as micronized suspensions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, or, preferably, as solutions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, either with our without a preservative such as benzylalkonium chloride. Alternatively, for ophthalmic uses, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may also be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to techniques well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and/or other conventional solubilizing or dispersing agents.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention are particularly useful in therapeutic applications relating to disorders as described herein (e.g., proliferation disorders, e.g., cancers, inflammatory, neurodegenerative disorders). Preferably, the composition is formulated for administration to a patient having or at risk of developing or experiencing a recurrence of the relevant disorder being treated. The term “patient”, as used herein, means an animal, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human. Preferred pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are those formulated for oral, intravenous, or subcutaneous administration. However, any of the above dosage forms containing a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention are well within the bounds of routine experimentation and therefore, well within the scope of the instant invention. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition of the invention may further comprise another therapeutic agent. Preferably, such other therapeutic agent is one normally administered to patients with the disorder, disease or condition being treated.

By “therapeutically effective amount” is meant an amount of compound or composition sufficient, upon single or multiple dose administration, to cause a detectable decrease in E1 enzyme activity and/or the severity of the disorder or disease state being treated. “Therapeutically effective amount” is also intended to include an amount sufficient to treat a cell, prolong or prevent advancement of the disorder or disease state being treated (e.g., prevent additional tumor growth of a cancer, prevent additional inflammatory response), ameliorate, alleviate, relieve, or improve a subject's symptoms of the a disorder beyond that expected in the absence of such treatment. The amount of E1 enzyme inhibitor required will depend on the particular compound of the composition given, the type of disorder being treated, the route of administration, and the length of time required to treat the disorder. It should also be understood that a specific dosage and treatment regimen for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combinations, the judgment of the treating physician, and the severity of the particular disease being treated. In certain aspects where the inhibitor is administered in combination with another agent, the amount of additional therapeutic agent present in a composition of this invention typically will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent. Preferably, the amount of additional therapeutic agent will range from about 50% to about 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent.

One embodiment of the invention relates to a method of inhibiting or decreasing E1 enzyme activity in a sample comprising contacting the sample with a compound of this invention, or composition comprising a compound of the invention. The sample, as used herein, includes, without limitation, sample comprising purified or partially purified E1 enzyme, cultured cells or extracts of cell cultures; biopsied cells or fluid obtained from a mammal, or extracts thereof; and body fluid (e.g., blood, serum, saliva, urine, feces, semen, tears) or extracts thereof. Inhibition of E1 enzyme activity in a sample may be carried out in vitro or in vivo, in cellulo, or in situ.

In another embodiment, the invention provides a method for treating a patient having a disorder, a symptom of a disorder, at risk of developing, or experiencing a recurrence of a disorder, comprising administering to the patient a compound or pharmaceutical composition according to the invention. Treating can be to cure, heal, alleviate, relieve, alter, remedy, ameliorate, palliate, improve or affect the disorder, the symptoms of the disorder or the predisposition toward the disorder. While not wishing to be bound by theory, treating is believed to cause the inhibition of growth, ablation, or killing of a cell or tissue in vitro or in vivo, or otherwise reduce capacity of a cell or tissue (e.g., an aberrant cell, a diseased tissue) to mediate a disorder, e.g., a disorder as described herein (e.g., a proliferative disorder, e.g., a cancer, inflammatory disorder). As used herein, “inhibiting the growth” or “inhibition of growth” of a cell or tissue (e.g., a proliferative cell, tumor tissue) refers to slowing, interrupting, arresting or stopping its growth and metastases and does not necessarily indicate a total elimination of growth.

Disease applications include those disorders in which inhibition of E1 enzyme activity is detrimental to survival and/or expansion of diseased cells or tissue (e.g., cells are sensitive to E1 inhibition; inhibition of E1 activity disrupts disease mechanisms; reduction of E1 activity stabilizes protein which are inhibitors of disease mechanisms; reduction of E1 activity results in inhibition of proteins which are activators of disease mechanisms). Disease applications are also intended to include any disorder, disease or condition which requires effective cullin and/or ubiquitination activity, which activity can be regulated by diminishing E1 enzyme activity (e.g., NAE, UAE activity).

For example, methods of the invention are useful in treatment of disorders involving cellular proliferation, including, but not limited to, disorders which require an effective cullin-dependent ubiquitination and proteolysis pathway (e.g., the ubiquitin proteasome pathway) for maintenance and/or progression of the disease state. The methods of the invention are useful in treatment of disorders mediated via proteins (e.g., NFκB activation, p27^(KiP) activation, p21^(WAF/CIP1) activation, p53 activation) which are regulated by E1 activity (e.g., NAE activity, UAE activity, SAE activity). Relevant disorders include proliferative disorders, most notably cancers and inflammatory disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), osteoarthritis, dermatosis (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis), vascular proliferative disorders (e.g., atherosclerosis, restenosis) autoimmune diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis, tissue and organ rejection)); as well as inflammation associated with infection (e.g., immune responses), neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, neuropathic pain, triplet repeat disorders, astrocytoma, and neurodegeneration as result of alcoholic liver disease), ischemic injury (e.g., stroke), and cachexia (e.g., accelerated muscle protein breakdown that accompanies various physiological and pathological states, (e.g., nerve injury, fasting, fever, acidosis, HIV infection, cancer affliction, and certain endocrinopathies)).

The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are particularly useful for the treatment of cancer. As used herein, the term “cancer” refers to a cellular disorder characterized by uncontrolled or disregulated cell proliferation, decreased cellular differentiation, inappropriate ability to invade surrounding tissue, and/or ability to establish new growth at ectopic sites. The term “cancer” includes, but is not limited to, solid tumors and bloodborne tumors. The term “cancer” encompasses diseases of skin, tissues, organs, bone, cartilage, blood, and vessels. The term “cancer” further encompasses primary and metastatic cancers.

In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor. Non-limiting examples of solid tumors that can be treated by the methods of the invention include pancreatic cancer; bladder cancer; colorectal cancer; breast cancer, including metastatic breast cancer; prostate cancer, including androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer; renal cancer, including, e.g., metastatic renal cell carcinoma; hepatocellular cancer; lung cancer, including, e.g., non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), and adenocarcinoma of the lung; ovarian cancer, including, e.g., progressive epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer; cervical cancer; gastric cancer; esophageal cancer; head and neck cancer, including, e.g., squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck; melanoma; neuroendocrine cancer, including metastatic neuroendocrine tumors; brain tumors, including, e.g., glioma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, adult glioblastoma multiforme, and adult anaplastic astrocytoma; bone cancer; and soft tissue sarcoma.

In some other embodiments, the cancer is a hematologic malignancy. Non-limiting examples of hematologic malignancy include acute myeloid leukemia (AML); chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), including accelerated CML and CML blast phase (CML-BP); acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); Hodgkin's disease (HD); non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), including follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma; B-cell lymphoma; T-cell lymphoma; multiple myeloma (MM); Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia; myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), including refractory anemia (RA), refractory anemia with ringed siderblasts (RARS), (refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB), and RAEB in transformation (RAEB-T); and myeloproliferative syndromes.

In some embodiments, the compound or composition of the invention is used to treat a patient having or at risk of developing or experiencing a recurrence in a cancer selected from the group consisting of colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer. In certain preferred embodiments, the cancer is selected from the group consisting of lung cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer and hematologic cancers.

Depending on the particular disorder or condition to be treated, in some embodiments, the E1 enzyme inhibitor of the invention is administered in conjunction with additional therapeutic agent or agents. In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent(s) is one that is normally administered to patients with the disorder or condition being treated. As used herein, additional therapeutic agents that are normally administered to treat a particular disorder or condition are known as “appropriate for the disorder or condition being treated.”

The E1 inhibitor of the invention may be administered with the other therapeutic agent in a single dosage form or as a separate dosage form. When administered as a separate dosage form, the other therapeutic agent may be administered prior to, at the same time as, or following administration of the E1 inhibitor of the invention.

In some embodiments, the E1 enzyme inhibitor of the invention is administered in conjunction with a therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of cytotoxic agents, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy appropriate for treatment of proliferative disorders and cancer. Non-limiting examples of cytotoxic agents suitable for use in combination with the E1 enzyme inhibitors of the invention include: antimetabolites, including, e.g., capecitibine, gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil or 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, fludarabine, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, thioguanine, pentostatin, and methotrexate; topoisomerase inhibitors, including, e.g., etoposide, teniposide, camptothecin, topotecan, irinotecan, doxorubicin, and daunorubicin; vinca alkaloids, including, e.g., vincristine and vinblastin; taxanes, including, e.g., paclitaxel and docetaxel; platinum agents, including, e.g., cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin; antibiotics, including, e.g., actinomycin D, bleomycin, mitomycin C, adriamycin, daunorubicin, idarubicin, doxorubicin and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin; alkylating agents such as melphalan, chlorambucil, busulfan, thiotepa, ifosfamide, carmustine, lomustine, semustine, streptozocin, decarbazine, and cyclophosphamide; including, e.g., CC-5013 and CC-4047; protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including, e.g., imatinib mesylate and gefitinib; proteasome inhibitors, including, e.g., bortezomib; thalidomide and related analogs; antibodies, including, e.g., trastuzumab, rituximab, cetuximab, and bevacizumab; mitoxantrone; dexamethasone; prednisone; and temozolomide.
